On the Fengming Peak of Qingyang Mountain, there is a famous palace called Jingdu Palace, which was built by the second generation head of the Qingyang faction, Chong Xuzi, during his reign. There is a martial pavilion called the Golden Sword Pavilion a hundred steps away from the Jingdu Palace, which is the first seat of this peak - the third disciple of Chong Xuzi, Xuan Ming Daoren himself. There is a large hall of ware, one of which has a pair of narrow windows and doors, which are closed as usual, and the other three walls have no windows and doors, but the inner walls are all carved with frescoes of gold and red, one wall on the left is carved with knights with golden swords and iron horses, the right wall is carved with armor soldiers with golden shields and spears, and the opposite wall is carved with pictures of red flames of furnaces, red stars and purple smoke, Tongshan Dan mines, and fireworks blazing. People stand indoors, as if they are between the battlefield and the smelter, a majestic and fiery atmosphere.

Xuanming Daoren was teaching the seventeen-year-old young disciple Shang Qingtian the art of making weapons, refining a Hundred Variations Knife from the Mo Dynasty.

"The art of war, the weapon of martial arts, the art of law, the art of martial arts, the art of war, the art of weapons, the art of weapons, the art of making weapons, is the life and death of the person who cultivates the truth, the foundation of survival, so we must not but refine and study deeply! The art of making weapons in the world is roughly divided into two categories: water law and fire law. Today, I will teach you this technique, and I hope that you will see and remember it, feel your consciousness, cultivate and practice hard, and integrate it as soon as possible. ”

Shang Qingtian was in awe, and promised: "Disciples must do their best, cultivate diligently, and integrate as soon as possible!"

"'Turning stones into gold' is the most important and most secret technique in my Taoist cultivation school's fire method, and each sect has different starting points, and the specific cultivation methods are also different. Xuan Ming Daoren continued.

"The creation of sharp blades such as swords, guns, swords, and halberds is inseparable from gold, iron and steel, and the smelting of gold, iron, and steel is inseparable from mountain rock ores. 'There are thousands of mountain rocks in the world, but only Danxia stone is the redtest. This folk proverb says that Danxia is a mountain called Danxia in the mountains behind us, also known as Luoxia Peak. Today's secular people only know that the Danxia stone from our Danxia Peak is the most red and beautiful among the red stones, and it has been carved and ground into a fashionable thing to be worn. In fact, in the cultivation world, Danxia stone is also regarded as the same four major energy stones as amethyst, red agate and blue jade, and it is a precious thing for cultivating true qi and increasing yuan and energy. Therefore, the Danxia stone of our Qingyang Mountain is hyped by the world, and it is said that the purest Danxia stone has been compared to silver and gold, so it is called 'blood gold'. Now, after more than ten years of smelting experiments, the teacher has discovered a more magical use of Danxia stone, which is still the best material for smelting gold and steel and making tools and blades in the world. ”

"The process of smelting gold and steel to make weapons in the world is usually extremely complicated, and the method is also difficult to control. First of all, the mountain stone should be burned with charcoal fire until the stone melts into essence and cools into gold; then it is necessary to make it into a blade while the gold and steel are hot and soft; and finally sharpen its edge, sharpen its blade, and then the weapon will take shape. Among them, hundreds of people are needed to mine ore, hundreds of people to dig coal, more than a dozen people to burn and smelt, and more than a dozen people to forge and grind, and it will take a year and a half in time, and it will take huge manpower and material resources and a long time. ”

"The trick that the teacher wants to teach you today is 'turning stones into gold', and it is much easier to learn it. I'll show you a demo first. ”

Shang Qingtian saw that the master took out a red six-edged Danxia stone three feet long and one foot thick, and put it on a longer and wider golden crystal jade grate on the ground, and a green pottery Xuanjing plate with a diameter of more than three or four feet was placed under the golden crystal jade grate. Then he took eight small stones, recited the mantra silently, and placed a gossip furnace-shaped formation around it. Then sat cross-legged nine feet away, facing Danshi, bowed his head and lowered his eyebrows, pressed his left palm on his chest, and pointed to Danxia Stone with the index finger of his right middle finger. After a while, the Danxia stone was full of red light, reflecting a red ball in the formation furnace, but outside the barrier was empty and distinct, as if there was a layer of transparent crystal glass cover, separating the inside and outside of the furnace arranged by the stone into two completely different worlds. About two quarters of an hour later, I saw the Danxia stone melt out the hot red stainless steel juice, and the stainless steel juice overflowed into the green pottery Xuanjing plate below through the golden crystal jade grate. After another quarter of an hour, a dark red honeycomb-shaped ember pillar with a shrunken body gradually remained on the grate, and the stone was exhausted. The Xuanming Daoist put away the Samadhi True Fire, took things from the air, and supported the Golden Crystal Jade Grate and the ore ember pillar above it to the top of the formation furnace, suspended it in mid-air, and output a true qi to support it, and then sat down to rest for a while. The steel juice in the plate began to cool and solidify, gradually solidifying into a small piece of red-hot steel at the bottom of the plate.

"You sit down next to me, and I will pass on the secret mantra you have refined. ”

Shang Qingtian hurriedly sat cross-legged beside his master, listened with his ears pricked up, and after listening to the master's recitation, he recited it silently three times in his heart.

"Remember, Master. ”

"Okay, now you follow what I did just now, silently recite the immortal recipe in your mouth, and input your three-element true qi into the Bagua Furnace Array. ”

Xuanming Daoist pressed his left palm on his chest again, and the index finger of his right middle finger pointed to the red-hot stainless steel plate in the plate, and there were words in his mouth.

Shang Qingtian did so, and after another quarter of an hour, he heard the master say: "Okay, your three-element true qi has been entered, now open your eyes and look at my weapon carefully, focusing on observing the changes in the shape of my hand." ”

The shape of Shizun's hand began to change, and the stainless steel slats in the array furnace began to overlap with the shape of Shizun's hand, becoming longer, thinner, thinner, and lighter over there like a piece of red glittering red clay, and the red light also changed from red to white, from dark to bright, and finally changed into a slender and sharp sword-shaped knife. Shizun waved his fingers again and kept sharpening, and the sword in the furnace array became brighter and brighter, shining brightly, and the white light was dazzling.

"Okay!" the master finally shouted, stopped, and sat there cross-legged, recuperating. Shang Qingtian twisted his look, and saw that his master's face was red and bright, and fine sweat was like beads on his forehead.

It took only two hours in total.

"Remember, this secret method of refining mantra, in the future, when you make the instrument independently, you will have to recite it silently seven hundred and forty-nine times in a row. When meditating, we must be single-minded, the mind is born from the heart, the mind is transmitted by the finger, and the mind is the most important. To use the mind, with the mind, with the breath, once to be more specialized, one time than one time to be faster, the intention to become a blade, the spirit is fast and forward. Starting from today, we should insist on meditating for one or two hours every day, and after 49 days, the mind can be shaped and the shape of the object will begin to take shape; after another 49 days of practice, the mind and shape will be able to change at will, and then it will become a great weapon; after the third 49 days, the spirit will finally be sharpened into a blade and the sword will come true. ”

"Disciple remember!"

"Also, you must remember the change in the shape of my gesture during the ignition process just now. The above is my Feng Mingfeng's mysterious method of 'turning stones into gold', can you remember it?"

"The disciple is dull, and the method has been memorized by heart, but this finger shape change is subtle, and the disciple has only memorized one—only a rough one, and he is not yet proficient. ”

Shang Qingtian was afraid of being scolded by his master, so he panicked in his heart, and his mouth was a little dull.

"This finger change is too complicated, and it's normal that you can't remember everything for a while, and I'll teach you later. Xuanming Taoist said, his face was solemn, and said: "The wonderful use of this Danxia stone, although all the peaks of Qingyang Mountain are clear, but this thaumaturgy of 'turning stones into gold' is the secret technique of my Fengming Peak, and it is not allowed to leak half a word to anyone, otherwise, you will be the same as this thing." ”

Before the words fell, he raised his hand and stretched his five fingers towards the new knife that had just been refined, so that he could take things in the air, only to see a flash of bright light, Shang Qingtian didn't see how the knife flew over, and the handle of the knife was firmly held in the master's hand. Xuan Ming Daoist waved his sword, only to hear a crisp sound of "Zheng", and a copper rod beside him had been cut in two, and then "Dangchang" screamed, and half of the copper rod fell to the ground.

Shang Qingtian was shocked, his heart was shocked, and he exclaimed: "Disciple must keep it in mind. ”

"Alright, go and get the pebbles out of the window, and remove the enchantment from this attic for me. Qingzhu Daoist instructed.

"Yes, master!"

It turned out that Xuan Ming Dao had made two enchantments in order to refine the best weapons as quickly as possible with one heart and one mind: the small enchantment inside was the furnace, the fire, and the inner refining blade, which restrained oneself from refining the three flavors of true fire internally, so as not to cause the fire to fly outside and burn people's burning things;

As soon as the enchantment was lifted, the Xuanming Daoist immediately heard an eager secret method transmission echoing from afar.

"Third Senior Brother, what are you busy with? Always out of the realm? In the Netherworld Valley closest to you, there is a strange sound from the swaying stones, so you quickly send someone to inspect it. Get back quickly. ”

"Qingtian, this brand-new 'Hundred Variations Away from Mo Knife' is yours!" Xuan Ming said.

"Thank you, master!"

Shang Qingtian said happily, his heart couldn't help but bloom, and his joy instantly filled his youthful face. Even though he is usually silent and moody, he can't hide his excitement at the moment.

"When refining just now, I deliberately let you input your own true qi, so your divine sense can control its sword qi, but you still need to play with it more in the future, and use your own true yuan true qi to nourish it so that you can use it freely. I will pass on the sealing spell of this treasure knife to you now, and in the future, when you encounter a powerful creature of the Three Realms, as long as you defeat the opponent with this sword and let the opponent leak their true qi or true blood, you can seal it into the treasure knife. ”

"Thank you, Master!"

"Listen to this sealing method: Ever-changing, who dares not to obey? Beasts, demons, ghosts, and spirits;

"Disciple remember!"

"Just now, the head of the sect sent a secret message from the Ethereal Peak, saying that he heard a strange sound from the swaying stones in the Netherworld Valley, you should go and take a look. Take this new knife with you!"

Xuan Ming Daoist said, handing him the Hundred Variety Away Mo Knife that he had just built. As a disciple of his own, although he is born with a good sense of heart and understanding, he is a good material for cultivating the true enlightenment, but things are extremely easy to oppose, and he can't do it if he is too homely. Because I thought of these things by chance, I took the opportunity to let my disciple go through the experience, and also test his ability to deal with things independently.

"The valley of the underworld, the landform is strange and complex, the sky is uncertain, when you encounter water, you will walk to the width of the water's edge, remember not to enter the hole, until you see a ethereal twin peaks of the 'East Beginning Mountain', you will see the 'swaying stone', you don't need to climb the 'mountain' to climb the 'stone', you just see if there are any aliens and strange objects nearby. Then go back immediately! Be careful all the way!"

"Yes!"

Shang Qingtian took it over and replaced his original dull and unfavorable ordinary steel knife.

"Go now, go back quickly!"
